Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

On the playground of the Urban Immortal Cultivation Academy, three beams of azure light shot into the sky, their pressure, representing the first level of Qi Refining, sweeping across the surrounding area. The representatives of the urban forces watching gasped in surprise. Only in the direction of the Su family villa, Su Qingyue watched the three figures, a faint smile on her lips, but a hint of worry hidden in her eyes. Ever since Huang Yiming met her in the city in Volume Three and they joined forces to thwart the Zhao family's business conspiracy, she had been wholeheartedly preparing for the establishment of the Immortal Cultivation Academy. Now that the first batch of students had finally made a breakthrough, trouble had arrived as expected—the Lin family, a long-established wealthy family in the city, could no longer suppress their covetousness and had secretly extended their reach.

"Just three mortals at the first level of Qi Refining, do they even deserve to call themselves immortals in the city?" A cold, mocking voice rang out as Lin Zhenhai, the head of the Lin family, led dozens of black-clad guards straight into the academy. He kicked over the registration sign at the entrance, shouting, "Su Qingyue, if you know what's good for you, hand over the cultivation resources and tell these mortal disciples to get out of the academy. Otherwise, the Lin family will raze this place to the ground today!"

Su Qingyue stepped forward, her white business attire accentuating her cool and aloof demeanor, yet her tone carried an undeniable firmness: "Lin Zhenhai, the Immortal Cultivation Academy was personally approved and established by the Supreme Being of the Two Realms, Huang Yiming. How dare you act so arrogantly? Back in the third volume, your Lin family, relying on the Zhao family, attempted to suppress my Su family's business empire. If it weren't for Supreme Being Huang showing mercy, your Lin family would have been destroyed long ago. And you still dare to provoke us today?"

Mentioning the events of that year, Lin Zhenhai's face turned pale and then flushed, before he became even more arrogant: "Times have changed! Back then, Huang Yiming was just a kid who could travel between two worlds. Even if he's now some kind of dual-world supreme being, he might not be able to protect you! Cultivation resources should belong to the wealthy and powerful. Do these mortals even deserve to cultivate? It's a desecration of spiritual energy!" With that, he waved his hand, and two guards immediately rushed towards the three students who had broken through, trying to capture them and force Su Qingyue to submit.

Just as the guard's hand was about to touch the student, a pale golden figure instantly appeared in front of the student, raising his hand to block the guard's attack. "Who gave you the audacity to run wild on my, Huang Yiming's, turf?" A cold voice rang out. Huang Yiming was wearing a dragon-patterned imperial robe. Although he did not deliberately release any pressure, the air in the entire training ground became stagnant.

Lin Zhenhai was startled when he saw Huang Yiming. He subconsciously took a step back, then forced a smile and mocked, "Huang Supreme? You're just a loser who failed the college entrance exam. You only got to where you are today because of the system and firearms. Do you really think you're a true immortal? This city is the domain of our wealthy family. You, an emperor from the fantasy world, dare to interfere in the affairs of the city?" He deliberately mentioned Huang Yiming's past failure in the first volume of the college entrance exam, trying to provoke him and also to mock Huang Yiming for being born into a mortal family and unworthy of controlling cultivation resources.

Huang Yiming's lips curled into a cold smile, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes—what he hated most was people bringing up his past failure in the college entrance exam, and even more so, people hurting those he cared about and trampling on the rules he had set. "So what if you're a loser? So what if you're ordinary?" He stepped aside to let the three students behind him pass, "These mortals can break through to the Qi Refining stage today, and tomorrow they can step into the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage. Their future is brighter than all the descendants of your Lin family. And you, you're nothing but a short-sighted good-for-nothing clinging to your ancestral legacy."

"You dare call me trash?" Lin Zhenhai was furious. He waved his hand, signaling all the guards to attack. "Go! Kill these mortal disciples and cripple Huang Yiming. My Lin family will reward you handsomely!" Dozens of guards, armed with specially made firearms and poisoned daggers, swarmed forward. These guards were all carefully trained assassins by the Lin family. Some of them had even been injected with improved gene-enhancing drugs, making them far more powerful than ordinary special forces soldiers.

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. He didn't take action himself, but instead said to the three students in a deep voice, "You've just broken through to the Qi Refining stage, so take this opportunity to practice. Remember, the dignity of a cultivator must be protected by your own fists." A hint of excitement and determination flashed in the eyes of the three students. They all activated the cultivation techniques they had just learned, and azure spiritual energy surrounded them as they rushed towards the guards.

Initially, the guards could suppress the trainees with their numbers and weapons. However, as the trainees gradually became familiar with their techniques, the advantage of spiritual energy became increasingly apparent—although the spiritual energy of those in the Qi Refining stage was weak, it could easily withstand bullets and neutralize dagger attacks. In a short time, several guards were defeated by the trainees, lying on the ground groaning in pain. Lin Zhenhai's expression changed drastically; he never expected that these newly-broken mortals would possess such combat power.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Lin Zhenhai roared hysterically, personally drawing his pistol from his waist and aiming it at a student before pulling the trigger. Huang Yiming's eyes sharpened, and he flicked out a burst of spiritual energy from his fingertip, instantly shattering the bullet. At the same time, an invisible pressure swept out, and the aura of a peak early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator instantly enveloped Lin Zhenhai, making him stiff and unable to move. The pistol in his hand clattered to the ground.

"I've said it before, at the Immortal Cultivation Academy, anyone who obstructs will be killed." Huang Yiming walked step by step toward Lin Zhenhai, his tone icy. "Back then, your Lin family was subservient to the Zhao family and committed numerous evils. I spared your life out of respect for Su Qingyue. Today, you show no remorse and challenge my bottom line, so don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Qingyue walked to Huang Yiming's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Yiming, spare his life. Just make an example of him to deter others, so as not to affect the stability of the city." She knew that Huang Yiming was decisive and ruthless, but she also understood that the Lin family had deep roots in the city. If they were completely wiped out, it might trigger a chain reaction, which would not be conducive to the progress of the integration of the two worlds.

Huang Yiming glanced at Lin Zhenhai, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually fading, but still remaining cold: "He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment. His cultivation will be crippled, he will be expelled from the city, and all of the Lin family's businesses will be merged into the Dual Realm Commercial System, to be managed by Su Qingyue." As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of spiritual energy shot out from his fingertip, and Lin Zhenhai let out a scream as his meridians were severed, rendering him completely useless.

The urban power representatives who were watching trembled with fear and knelt down in submission: "Greetings, Supreme Huang! We are willing to submit and will never interfere with the affairs of the Immortal Cultivation Academy, and will fully cooperate with the fusion of the two realms!" They had witnessed Huang Yiming's combat power with their own eyes and understood that Huang Yiming was no longer the boy who could be easily manipulated, but a true supreme being of the two realms who controlled their lives and deaths.

Huang Yiming raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, and said in a deep voice, "The Urban Cultivation Academy is an important link in the fusion of the two worlds. Anyone who covets cultivation resources or disrupts the order of the academy, regardless of their status, will be severely punished. From now on, the Urban Cultivation System will be incorporated into the dual-world system. Su Qingyue will be the Dean of the Urban Cultivation Academy, overseeing all affairs of the academy. No one may disobey her."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing across the entire playground. Su Qingyue turned to look at Huang Yiming, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration, and whispered, "Thank you, Yiming." Huang Yiming took her hand and smiled gently, "Silly girl, your affairs are my affairs. I promised you that I would help you gain a foothold in the city, and that I would help cultivators rise in the city. I keep my word."

As the sun set, its afterglow bathed the rooftop of the cultivation academy's teaching building. Huang Yiming and Su Qingyue stood side by side, gazing down at the busy students and the subjugated urban forces, their hearts filled with emotion. From failing the college entrance exam in the first volume to becoming a supreme being in two realms, every step he had taken had been inseparable from the companionship of those around him. And Su Qingyue, since their encounter in the urban setting in the third volume, had always silently supported him; he would always remember this kindness.

Just then, a student rushed over, his expression panicked, and said, "Your Excellency, Dean, one of the guards who was just defeated told me before he died that someone promised me a high-level cultivation technique, asking me to betray the academy. That person said he came from the Celestial Immortal Realm." Huang Yiming and Su Qingyue exchanged a glance, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. The Celestial Immortal Realm, this unfamiliar force from countless worlds, had actually infiltrated the city, and their goals were clearly not simple. Huang Yiming clenched his fist, thinking to himself: The Celestial Immortal Realm, huh? No matter what your schemes are, if you dare to touch my people, dare to disrupt the fusion of the two realms, I will make you pay the price. What he didn't know was that this was only the beginning of the Celestial Immortal Realm's intervention; an even greater crisis was quietly brewing.
